The head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, spoke about the team's striker Alvaro Morata after the victory in the round of 32 of the Spanish Cup against Arrenteiro (3:1).
"Morata made a lot of efforts, he had a lot of moments. He is a role model for our forwards. Alvaro is needed by the team and we want him to be strong," Simeone was quoted as saying by Marca.
It should be noted that Morata scored an assist, but in the middle of the second half he failed to convert a penalty in the Arenteiro goal.
